Monday Afternoon Music Fix: New Kanye Video + Free Mp3's

For your viewing pleasure: the new Kanye West video, directed by Spike Jonze. Much like his 1995 vid for Wax’s “Southern California” (reminisce here), Jonze shows his penchant for slow motion and fire. Add a shovel-wielding lingerie model to the equation and you’ve got gold. Ironically, dousing a fur coat with lighter fluid has been deemed the most explicit part of “Flashing Lights,” not that we’re complaining. See for yourself.

Brooklyn’s Mobius Band gave its fans a special treat this Valentine’s Day with the Love Will Reign Supreme EP. It’s all covers, including MB’s version of Daft Punk’s “Digital Love”. Download it free at the band's site.

3-D technology is grossly underused these days, so kudos to Mike Relm for stepping up to the plate. His action/comedy/performance DVD, Clown Alley, releases on April 1. Check the trailer.

Them Apples

Former Soul Coughing frontman Mike Doughty issues his fourth solo LP tomorrow. The first single is all about the “extra-sensory sexual connection” Mike feels with the women dancing in his audience, which apparently makes him think of the hook from “Little Drummer Boy.” Hear it for yourself, thanks to My Old Kentucky.

Golden Delicious is out February 19 on ATO Records.
